Alright, I have begun messing with Python packaging but I have encountered some problems. I have used python setup.py install to install my package, then distribute, and then pip. The packages work for a little while, but then Python eventually stops being able to find them. The interesting thing is that this happens in the same Windows 7 Command Prompt window that I originally gave the action in. I have opened the interactive prompt and tried importing both distribute and then my package. It couldn't find distribute, but found my package, though I have no idea where it is. What is going on?
UPDATE: I've found the package files where they belong in my Python install. Now how do I get them to run?
I eventually fixed this. I have to use python -m <package name>. It was working that one time because I was within the extracted source code. Whoops.
